In the establishment and implementation of production work
experience policies, the State Board of Education shall be guided as follows:

(1) Local boards of education may use supplementary tax
funds or other local funds available for the support of career and technical
education to purchase and develop suitable building sites on which dwellings or
other buildings are to be constructed by career and technical education trade
classes of each public school operated by local boards of education. Local
boards of education may use these funds for each school to pay the fees
necessary in securing and recording deeds to these properties for each public
school operated by local boards of education and to purchase all materials
needed to complete the construction of buildings by career and technical
education trade classes and for development of site and property by other
career and technical education classes. Local boards of education may use these
funds to acquire skilled services, including electrical, plumbing, heating,
sewer, water, transportation, grading, and landscaping needed in the
construction and completion of buildings, that cannot be supplied by the
students in career and technical education trade classes.

(2) Local boards of education may, in conjunction with
or in lieu of subdivision (1) of this section, contract with recognized
building trades educational foundations or associations in the purchase of land
for the construction and development of buildings: Provided however, that all
contracts shall be in accordance with the requirements set forth by the State
Board of Education. (1977, c. 490, s. 4; 1981, c.
